Cowboys passing game coordinator/defensive backs coach Kris Richard is scheduled to interview with the Giants for their head coach vacancy on Thursday, as Josina Anderson of ESPN.com tweets. Richard, who was a finalist for the Dolphins’ job last year, could get a chance to run his own show.
Richard served as the Seahawks’ defensive coordinator for three seasons before his dismissal after the 2017 campaign. Since then, he’s been in Dallas, where he’s been rumored to be the heir apparent to DC Rod Marinelli.
Of course, everything is in flux for the Cowboys after they finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs. If Jason Garrett is fired, that could mean a move or two up the ladder for Richard. Or, it could mean that Richard will be out of a job altogether.
In addition to the aforementioned Dolphins interview, Richard also interviewed with the Jets and Bucs in the last cycle. This year, the Cowboys finished No. 9 in total defense and No. 11 in points allowed.
He gone.

Excellent ploy by the Giants. Make Jerry believe Richard is desired and that the Cowboys should keep him on their staff. Only helps the rest of the NFC East.
Lol exactly
wait, you’re accusing the giants of doing something clever?
Oh God no. Please no. Dear God no!
Rooney rule before they hire Garrett.
That would be just as bad as hiring Richard. Any Cowboy coach would be a bad hire.
Please take them both. Take our owner while you’re at it.
I usually refrain from hiring someone with two first names.
